Released on March 26, the follow-up has managed to land an extremely impressive 100% score onRotten Tomatoeson its day of release. It’s worth noting, though, that at the time of writing, the film only has six reviews.
“This is cinema at its most punk rock,” says Luke Y. Thompson fromAV Club, “A raucous, unpolished, cheap, sacred-cow shredding middle finger to the mainstream with just enough raw talent inside to keep it from being dismissible.” Meanwhile, Anton Bitel fromSciFiNowcalls it “a considerable improvement on the original film.”
Directed by Rhys Frake-Waterfield, the sequel follows the monstrous reimaginings of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and Tigger, who break out of the shadows and wreak havoc on a nearby town, leaving a bloody trail of death and mayhem in their wake. The story follows from last year’s original which saw Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet transform into feral and bloodthirsty beasts and terrorize Christopher Robin at a creepy remote house.
But praises for the sequel are just as hunny-sweet over in the fan-based reviews, landing the film an 84% audience score. “This is without a doubt one of the best low-budget horror films of this year,” says one fan. “This movie has no limits, it’s disgusting, repulsive, and horrible, it’s what I expect to see from a slasher movie, and this movie did it perfectly,” says another.
